39 Home Remedies for Athletes foot

Kill the demon fungus!!!

I had it for 1 year solid. Every day new blisters forming. I bought
everything you could over the counter. Things from other countries. Tried
over 50 home remedies. The thing that finally worked was straight white
vinegar foot soaks. 2 times a day for 30 minutes for one month.

I almost gave up the second week cause new blisters were still forming, but
I kept on with it...I had it for a year so it was going to take more time
to totally kill it... I really did not think it would work cause it always
came back with the other remedies, but I wish I would have tried this
first. And it may burn the first 2 times you do it but after that it is
really soothing. Melts off all the dead nasty skin, which I believe the
spores kill so they can have "food"

Mix approximately 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil with a few drops of Tea Tree Oil.
Apply each night and morning to clean, dry feet. Itching will be gone
within a day or two. Continue to do this for a week after all signs of AF
are gone. Also work on Tinea Versicolor!!!

Baby oil

I've tryed everything. It always comes back with in days. One day my
husband said put baby oil. I laughted and said after all these exspensive
treatments we have done n the home remedies that have added up to be a lot
of money! So I tryed it. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and the thick
dry scaley skin has not grown back. I am no longer embarrassed to wear
sandles.

Vagisil to the rescue

When my itch starts I just take out a tube of Vagisil, yes Vagisil and put
some cream on the area and within seconds the itching disappears for days!
That's the only thing I found works for me. Sometimes I forgot I have AF
until I feel a little itch coming back. Vagisil did the trick for me!!

Baby burt's diaper ointment

This is not a planted commercial suggestion, we just stumbled upon it
because it was there. After years of recurring Athlete's Foot problems we
tried using the baby's diaper cream. It works better than everything else
in the entire world! Seriously, just smear some on the affected area. I
think we repeated it for a couple or three days, and the Athlete's Foot was
gone. Now any time my foot feels the slightest bit tingly I grab the
Burt's, and the problem is over before it barely gets started.

Athletes foot I got rid of mine!

I found this almost by accident so want to spread the word. It cured my
athletes foot after years and years of trying everything else imaginable
from prescriptions to bleach... LUGOLS IODINE SOLUTION. Google it, buy it
and apply it to your skin. It is fab! It has other benefits too but you can
find out about these yourself if you want.
It is good stuff!

I've had bad athletes foot for 5 years now, have tried everything from anti
fungals to steroids. Have been taking anti fungals orally or 6 months now
and still no change. Somebody recommended vinegar and I tried it yesterday.
Soak feet in warm/hot water with 1:3 vinegar to water ratio for half an
hour twice a day and leave to dry naturally. It hurts like hell at the time
but by the time it's dried, wow, what a difference!

Last night was the first time in 3 years I haven't woken up with the
maniacal itch in the middle of the night. It isn't easy to designate time
aside what with two kids but I'm determined. Feeling wonderful.

This worked for me

I had a terrible athlete's foot infection in my right foot for over five
years. I had tried every over-the-counter remedy ranging from
Tinactin/Lamisil cream to vinegar and peroxide. I got so desperate I got a
prescription for anti-fungals even with the risk of liver damage.

I was suffering and embarrassed of my cracked skin and thick yellow
toenails. I didn't dare get a pedicure and dating was stressful because of
it. I finally got a hold of some tea tree oil at Trader Joe's. I mixed a
capful of it in a small tub with the hottest water I could stand. I soaked
my foot in that once a week and within a month the itching and flaking was
gone! I was amazed. You can't even tell I ever had athelete's foot. My
tonails are grown in all clear and the skin on my foot is soft and healthy.
Yippee!

If I work out a lot or am on my feet for awhile, I will do the treatment as
maintenance but I have not seen any recurrence of the AF and it has been
six months. I am amazed and very happy! Give it a shot. It only costs 5-10
bucks for a bottle and trust me it is cheaper than a prescription. My
bottle lasted three months!

You can find tea tree oil anywhere they sell natural products. Just make
sure it is pure tea tree. Also another thing I did the first month was to
apply coconut oil (pure extra virgin only) to my feet once a week. It
smells great and also has anti fungal properties. :) Happy feet!

Cure for athletes foot

I had bad athletes foot for about a year and hid my feet from all my
friends. When I admitted I had athletes food my friend suggested mud. It
sounds crazy but after putting my food in mud a couple of times it works.
Just make sure you disinfect your shoes or it WILL come back. Good luck.

White vinegar, salt

Take a wash cloth, or a cotton ball and dip it into a bowl of White vinegar
and salt. Do this for about THREE to FOUR minutes. Keep doing this for
about ONE WEEK. After that, your AF should be GONE!!!!!
